Local spotlight: Berry Nice Farms.
Bolivia, NC — Blueberries are one of North Carolina’s most important fruit crops, and Brunswick County sits on the edge of the state’s most productive blueberry region. Berry Nice Farms, a small U‑pick operation in Bolivia, is part of that backbone and its fields are open with early‑season picking conditions.
Berry Nice Farms often ripens ahead of larger growers, giving local families early access to heavy clusters, good color, and easy picking in mid‑June. The small‑farm layout keeps walking distances short and makes early‑morning picking ideal before the heat builds.

Statewide, blueberries generate more than 50 million pounds of fruit each year and contribute over $100 million to North Carolina’s agricultural economy. More than 9,000 acres across the state are dedicated to blueberries, with the southeastern counties including Brunswick producing the earliest and largest harvests.
Local farms such as Berry Nice Farms, along with Lively Grove Farms and Owen’s Blueberry Farm, help keep agricultural land active, support seasonal labor, and supply fresh fruit directly to families and markets. Their early‑season fields mark the unofficial start of summer and highlight why blueberries remain a “big deal” for both the region and the state.
